Sunday, March 20, 2:00 pm – Lunch Line

by

Filmmakers Michael Graziano and Ernie Park were originally inspired by the Organic School Project, a now-defunct school garden project in Chicago, and had intended to focus their  film Lunch Line on it. Once they started production, however, they realized that there was a much larger story to be told. The resulting film adopts a visually striking style as it portrays the surprisingly long and tortuous history of school food in this country. $5, co-sponsored by Slow Food Boston and The Museum of Science, at The Cahners Theater at The Museum of Science, 1 Science Park in Boston, at 2 pm on Sunday, March 20.
